65-year-old California arrested after search turns up $100,000 of stolen sportswear
"Two separate investigations into retail theft in the region led to the discovery of $100,000 worth of stolen sporting wear in one San Diego home and racks of stolen action figures in another, authorities said. First, a woman was arrested last week after a search of her home turned up goods stolen from a sportswear retailer in Carlsbad. Her arrest followed a months-long investigation into upwards of 40 thefts from a single Under Armour store in the Carlsbad Premium Outlets on Paseo del Norte."
"Carlsbad police said in a news release Tuesday that the investigation started in May, and they worked closely with Under Armour's loss prevention team to review surveillance footage and analyze evidence in the series. That work led them to identify their suspect as a 65-year-old San Diego woman. Armed with a warrant, police searched her home last week and found what they allege are stolen goods. The woman was arrested on suspicion of several counts of grand theft."
Law enforcement uncovered two separate caches of allegedly stolen retail merchandise in San Diego County homes. The first recovery included approximately $100,000 in sportswear linked to a months-long series of about 40 thefts from an Under Armour store at Carlsbad Premium Outlets; detectives, working with Under Armour loss prevention and reviewing surveillance, identified a 65-year-old San Diego woman, executed a search warrant, and arrested her on suspicion of multiple grand theft counts. The second recovery occurred in Mira Mesa, where deputies found shelves of action figures taken from Target and Walmart, estimated at more than $1,000; two people were arrested and arraigned, facing multiple charges.
